WHITPAIN — Each team had its specific strength at Sunday afternoon’s co-ed swim meet between Bonner & Prendergast and Archbishop Carroll. The Bonner & Prendie boys arrived with six wins in eight meets and added one more to their win total when they defeated Carroll 94-73.

On the girls’ side, the Patriots entered the Philadelphia Catholic League dual meet with just one loss in three previous PCL meets. The Carroll girls kept their momentum going with an 84-68 victory over the visiting Pandas.

The Patriot girls dominated the meet and touched first in every event. A number of girls turned in strong performances, including quadruple winners Caroline Quindlen and Christine Loughery and triple winners Gabby Niskanen, Emily Ames and Steph Barkofski.

All of them had two relay victories on their meet resume. Loughery, Niskanen and Quindlen were on the winning 200-yard medley relay along with Olivia Snyder. The victorious 200 free relay featured Niskanen, Ames, Santoro and Barkofski and the 400 free relay’s winning foursome was Snyder, Quindlen, Barkofski and Loughery.

Individually, Loughery took first in the 50 freestyle at 26.60 and the 100 butterfly at 1:03.97 while Quindlen logged wins in the 100 freestyle at 58.38 and the 100 backstroke at 1:04.00

“Neither time was good but I guess the 50 was my better race,” said Loughery, a veteran senior. “I had better competition with Prendie’s Victoria Brook, who was runner-up. I had someone to race against. I still need to work on my turns a lot before districts.”

Quindlen, a Carroll junior, said, “I liked my 100 free today. It was around a half-second off my all-time best. I felt like I really worked my turns well. And, I kept a nice even pace. Back wasn’t a good time. It felt good when I was swimming but my time didn’t reflect that at all.”

Ames came through with a pair of individual wins. She started with a victory in the 200 freestyle with a clocking of 2:23.06 and came back later to win the 500 free with as time of 6:28.35.

“Both races were good but neither time was a season’s best,” said Ames, a senior. “The 200 was a better race than the 500. It just felt better. I think I got out well. In the 500, I started feeling sick in the middle. I had to just keep pushing through it.”

Niskanen posted the fastest time in the 100 breaststroke at 1:20.94 after placing second in the 200 IM earlier in the meet while Barkofski picked up her individual win in the 200 IM at 2:34.28.

“Breaststroke was good but I got kind of tired at the end,” said Niskanen, a junior. “I was trying to focus on my form. The time definitely wasn’t my best. With the IM, it’s an event I don’t usually swim.

“Our coach was putting us in events we don’t usually do just for something different. My strokes were all O.K. -- except for backstroke. I just don’t like swimming backstroke.”

Barkofski, also a junior, said, “My IM was good. All my strokes felt fine and my breaststroke felt a little better than usual. I did start feeling a little tired in the last 25 (yards). The 100 fly was tiring. My stroke was great and my walls were fine. These are probably the two events I’ll swim at districts.”

The Carroll boys were paced by a pair of seniors -- Jerry O’Connor, who took first in the 200 IM at 2:02.68 and first in the 100 butterfly with a time of 59.91, and Phil Polche, who was first in the 100 breaststroke with a clocking of 1:12.00

“Fly was the better race today,” said O’Connor. “I finally broke one minute again. It was my best time this year. My p.r. (personal record) is 58.14 but my bst this season had been a 1:00.14.

“I just had a better race today. My stroke felt good. I didn’t have to take as many breaths like I normally do and I wasn’t as tired as I usually am. My IM was pretty good too. It was my best time this year. Breast felt good and none of the strokes felt bad.”

Polche said, “That was an exceptionally good time for me today. My previous best was a 1:13.6. That’s more than a full second drop. Today, I just dove in and it felt better right away. I just worked from that.”

The only other first-place finish for the Carroll boys came when Christian Reusche won the diving event with a score of 146.70.
